Chapter 30 Keep a low profile (4)
Chapter 30: Keep your strength and keep your time (4)
Qu Yuan's eyebrows couldn't help but twisted: "A merely a attendant of the Eastern Palace, a sixth-rank official, speaks so aggressively to His Highness. He keeps his mouth polite, but he is lawless.
"On the way back from Zuixian Tower, Qu Yuan was depressed all the way, and as soon as he entered the study, he couldn't wait to blame him. It was indeed Huang Zicheng's actions on Zuixian Tower just now made Zhu Zhi's subordinates angry. This was not the courtesy of the ministers to the prince.
Yang Rong wiped his face with a towel in his hand and said, "This is a Hongmen banquet without ambushing swords and axes. Behind Lord Huang is the power of the East Palace. To some extent, he speaks on behalf of the East Palace.
Do you think there is something wrong with his attitude? Just now, Bei Zhi was really worried about His Highness, but fortunately His Highness speaks without any leakage. “
Qu Yuan raised his eyebrows and stared at the boss: "Hongmen Banquet? He didn't dare to give him a courage. But what Lord Yang said makes sense."
Zhu Zhi smiled and said, "Mianren thought why did Lord Huang set up this Hongmen Banquet?"
Yang Rong said: "I heard about something. Last month, the emperor's grandson and Lord Huang drank at the east corner of the imperial city. The grandson and Lord Huang said: The emperor granted all the vassal kings and asked all uncles to lead heavy troops. Originally, they were asked to guard the country's gate alone, but these uncles were arrogant and mostly illegal things. What should they do?
Lord Huang replied: The troops guarded by the kings are not enough to defend themselves.
If someone dares to change, the emperor will control a corner of the world and launch six armies together, who can resist it? I think that the Han Dynasty had a rebellion of the seven countries, which is not strong, but it still cannot shake the court's territory and was quickly destroyed by the court.
The size of the vassal states in the world is different, and the principles of the country and the law of the priests are different. The people will only support the court and will not face the vassal kings. So your highness does not need to worry. After hearing what Lord Huang said, His Highness the Grand Prince was relieved."
After listening for a long time, Qu Yuan said thoughtfully: "What Lord Yang means is. His Highness the Grand Prince is worried that the vassal king will not lose his head, and His Highness happened to be inspecting the capital, so the Grand Prince asked Lord Huang to test His Highness?"
Yang Rong smiled and said, "The son is teaching, that's right, and there is another thing. His Highness is vaguely comparable to the King of Yan in the vassal kings, which is what His Highness the Grand Prince is afraid of.
Today's Hongmen Banquet will never be the last time. In the future, the Grandson and Lord Huang will make various tests. Even the actions of silencing Your Highness will not be less."
Listening to Yang Rong's analysis, Qu Yuan also frowned and said, "At today's meeting, Bei Zhi felt that Your Highness was very sincere in answering. Although Bei Zhi didn't know what Your Highness and Lord Huang said, after Lord Huang and Your Highness, he seemed very satisfied? Why don't you trust Your Highness?" This was also a question that Zhu Zhi was concerned about, and the two looked at Yang Rong together.
Yang Rong first explained the matter of the prince's entrusting his orphan to Qu Yuan, and then said, "If you could completely believe Your Highness just by asking questions. Then Huang Zicheng would not have arranged such a Hongmen Banquet.
So Your Highness has to do something to trust His Highness in Beijing."
Zhu Zhi said, "For example? What should I do to reassure this nephew?" In front of his closest subordinate, Zhu Zhi always inadvertently revealed his true thoughts. He was too tired. In this seemingly prosperous capital, how could he be as relaxed and comfortable as in Liaodong.
And there is a powerful imprisonment that always hangs around you. This feeling is like riding on a horse with your hands tied to fight.
Yang Rong also saw the concerns of his prince and said calmly: "Your Highness don't have to worry. Since you are in the capital, you will naturally feel much more at ease than in Liaodong. There are only three people who have kept their talents and kept their low profile throughout history.
First, when he was farming, the Han Dynasty had the affairs of Zhang Liang, the Marquis of Liu, but His Highness was born a nobleman, and he couldn't help but run around in a foreign land when he was in his position. Moreover, His Highness never works as a farmer, so this plan is not desirable.
The other is that he is lying on a bed and is called sick. This plan was caused by Sima Wu, who concealed Cao Shuang's car before, but His Highness was in full swing in the spring and autumn, and he said he was rudely sick, so he might not be able to conceal the eyes of the grandson.
The third is the sound and sex. This plan has the precedent of Li Taibai of the Tang Dynasty. Bei Zhi thinks it is suitable for Your Highness. Your Highness was a romantic boy, and who was not greedy for beauty? Jie Shi then used the second princess and Bei Zhi to act together to persuade him.
I must be able to hide it from the above. But if I can get the Eastern Palace, I may not be able to pass the current level. There are also advantages and disadvantages."
Zhu Zhi thought to himself. Yang Rong didn't know that Zhu Yuanzhang's deadline was approaching. Now he could hide it from his nephew. He quickly said, "Hehe, this plan is very good. Mianren is in poor health. Then, please ask Yun Fei to accompany me for nothing.
"Qu Yuan smiled cunningly.
...
"His Highness of the King of Liao said that he will not forget Prince Yiwen's words, and he will fulfill his promise to Prince Yiwen in one breath." In the side hall of the Eastern Palace, Huang Zicheng reported to Zhu Yunwen about the interview with Zhu Zhi.
Zhu Yunwen nodded and said, "What does that gentleman think of Uncle Wang? Is his attitude as sincere as he said?"
Huang Zicheng said: "Using my observation, Your Highness was indeed very sincere when confessing his love."
Zhu Yunwen smiled and said, "Since Uncle Wang is still an orphan person who can be trusted, then everything will be fine?"
Huang Zicheng said: "Your Highness, please forgive me for saying it bluntly, the opposite is true. It would be too abnormal if a vassal king had no resentment after he entered the cold palace.
It can only be explained two points. First, this person has no great ambitions at all. Your Highness thinks that with what the King of Liao did in Liaodong, is he a man like that? If not, then the King of Liao must belong to the second type of person, who has great ambitions and is now just keeping a low profile.
”
Zhu Yunwen chuckled softly and said, "Sir, you are too careful. Now Uncle Wang is just a prince who has no soldiers and no power and has entered the cold palace. It is no different from the deposed king.
If it is understandable that you are always on guard against Yan Di, the gentleman is a little too cautious about the King of Liao."
Huang Zicheng stood up and said, "Your Highness, you should not say this. In comparison, among the kings, Zhou, Qi, Xiang, and Min are not enough. Only Yan, Jin, Liao and Ning are both talented and ambition-oriented. If there is chaos in the future, these four people will not be able to do so.
Now the King of Liao is just a tiger in the capital. It is inevitable that there will be no chance to stand out in the future. Please be careful about this.
Now that the emperor is old, within a year or two, the time when His Highness inherits the throne, His Highness has made plans for these uncles and plans as soon as possible.
Seeing that Huang Zicheng was a little impatient, Zhu Yunwen quickly got up and took his hand and said, "What Mr. Sir said is very true. You can naturally avoid being lonely. Please sit down and don't be anxious.
But when my father died, he told Gu that he must respect and trust his fifteenth uncle. Gu thought that his father would not misjudgment.
Huang Zicheng said: "Your Highness Yiwen naturally understands thousands of miles away, but you still have to constantly test the Liao King and truly understand his trump card. Of course, if the Liao King can be used by Your Highness, then the Yan King will definitely not be able to do it."
Zhu Yunwen said, "How else do you need to test it? Haven't you already talked to Uncle Fifteen today?"
Huang Zicheng said: "I have a plan. Now Liaodong has two teams, but no matter which one is the chief secretary of the Liao Palace. It is better to report to the emperor.
On the grounds that the Liao King could not be in charge of the director in Beijing, he added a position of governor in Liaodong to Liaodong, and then recommended a person from His Highness to serve as the position.
At that time, we can see the reaction of the King of Liao and also install His Highness in Liaodong, so that we can ensure that we can avoid leaking water.”
Zhu Yunwen thought for a while, nodded slightly and said, "Everything should be done as the teacher said."
A few days later, Zhao Mei, the chief minister of the Ministry of War, reported that the Liao Dynasty was in Beijing and that no one was in charge of the Liaodong military affairs. The Liaodong Metropolitan Division could not manage the Liaoning King's guards, so he asked the court to add the military position of the Liaodong Town Governor and unified the command of the Metropolitan Division and the Liaoning King to protect all the military horses.
This memorial did not cause much turmoil in the court.
Zhu Yuanzhang marshalled the memorial book to Zhu Zhi's mansion and gave his opinion. When Zhu Zhi saw this memorial book, Wuminghuo suddenly jumped up. Which bastard's idea was this? I just left Liaodong for a few days, and someone was already trying to focus on the military power of Liaodong.
Zhu Zhi threw the memorial book angrily in front of Yang Rong and said, "Look, who is this Zhao Mei? He actually has such courage. He instigated his father to seize my military power."
Yang Rong finished reading the memorial and said, "Your Highness is a little restless. This is not something that can be rushed by being anxious. This may be the emperor's idea or the grandson's idea.
If it was the emperor's idea, it would be really difficult to deal with, which means that the emperor was suspicious of His Highness and did not trust His Highness to control the military power in Liaodong, so he sent someone to restrain him.
But if it was the idea of the Taisun Land, it would be easy. He just wanted to test Your Highness and at the same time he wanted to use his own person to monitor Your Highness. Since Your Highness has lost control of military power, it would be better to be a favor and hide his strength to the end."
After hearing what Yang Rong said, Zhu Zhi was still unhappy. In his mind, his grasp of the army was the most important thing. The Jingnan approached, and the prince who lost his military power was not as good as that in those chaotic times. Isn’t he planning the affairs of Liaodong so diligently for so many years just to have a support for himself in the chaotic times? In this way.
Zhu Zhi felt a little troubled.
When Yang Rong saw that he was silent, he knew that Zhu Zhi still couldn't accept this, and said, "Your Highness."
What is the most important thing for the army? It is the morale of the army. In the fifth year of Liao, His Highness was approachable, respected the wise and humbled the Jurchens, stepped on the grassland, and established the achievements of catching up with the king of Zhongshan.
The Liaodong army returned to the hearts, and even if outsiders entered, they could not replace His Highness. If there were any changes, as long as His Highness climbed up and shouted, what was the difficulty for the troops to return? At this moment, take a step back and the sky was wide open.
In addition, Your Highness might as well recommend some people who don’t want them to go to Liaodong as the governor. In this way, these people will naturally not be able to take office.
After Yang Rong's explanation and persuasion, Zhu Zhidi's resentment gradually subsided. He thought calmly, in this situation, people are the slaughter and I am the fish. Only by being a human being with a tail between them can I have a day to stand out.
According to Yang Rong's teachings, Zhu Zhi approved a reply with support in the memorial, and specially recommended two people, one was Zhang Yu, the commander of the left guard of Yanshan, and the other was Li Jinglong.
The memorial was sent back to the court, and the official document was issued within a few days. The Ministry of War approved the suggestion. Of course, neither Zhang Yu nor Li Jinglong would be a businessman. The Ministry of War promoted Yang Wen, the commander-in-chief of the Sichuan Metropolitan Commander, to be the military commander of the Liaodong Metropolitan Commander.
When Zhu Zhi saw this person's name, a year suddenly burst into his mind - history, and history has never changed much.
In the original history, this person appeared in Liaodong. During the Jingnan period, this monarch led the Liaodong army out of Shanhaiguan several times to threaten Peiping from the back.
